Hours after West Virginia University celebrated an ugly basketball win over Pitt in Morgantown, a group promoting harm to the Mountaineer basketball coach appeared on a popular social networking Web site.The group titled “We want Bob Huggins dead on Feb. 12th” was small in comparison to other Huggins-bashing groups, but it picked up a few more members on Facebook Thursday afternoon before being shut down by site administrators late that evening.
The short-lived group caused enough concern that WVU police were checking into it and even contacted the FBI. Officials do not believe the threat was credible.
The Mountaineers take on Pitt once again at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh at 9 p.m. Friday. The information blurb on the group’s main page called Huggins a derogatory name and said the coach and team would “get their medicine on feb. 12th.”
